Your nephew's ability to eat or keep a roof over his head is not conditional upon completing the boulder course at a pace set by a foreman, or completing it at all. That's what mak…

I've submitted a correction for an illegal turn instruction twice on Google maps. No reply. But my other corrections have been accepted.

Not very helpful to generalise about Europe in that way. It is a big place with a variety of zoning laws and plenty of examples of road, rail and air transport noise affecting home…

I'm puzzled by the whole range. There are some that look just like a £10 digital watch but sell for £100. The difference seems to be the robustness but not that many jobs or hobbie…

In the UK there are companies offering 5g as an alternative to fixed line at your home. Do you have something like that where you live?

Some of that lab work is contracted out of the NHS, but your NHS doctor is largely steered by clinical guidelines rather than profit or ass-covering. Eg https://www.synnovis.co.uk/…
